We introduce a prescription to define form factor integrands at loop level in planar N= 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. This relies on a periodic kinematic configuration that has been instrumental to describe form factors at strong coupling in terms of periodic Wilson loops. With this prescription, we are able to formulate loop-level recursion relations for planar form factor integrands, using a two-line (BCFW) and an all-line shift. We also point out important differences with the known recursion relations of integrands of planar loop amplitudes. We present a number of concrete one-loop examples to illustrate and validate our prescription for form factor integrands.

Abstract
We introduce a prescription to define form factor integrands at loop level in planar N= 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. This relies on a periodic kinematic configuration that has been instrumental to describe form factors at strong coupling in terms of periodic Wilson loops. With this prescription, we are able to formulate loop-level recursion relations for planar form factor integrands, using a two-line (BCFW) and an all-line shift. We also point out important differences with the known recursion relations of integrands of planar loop amplitudes. We present a number of concrete one-loop examples to illustrate and validate our prescription for form factor integrands.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
